so this is the choice we face in this election. this is what the election comes down to. and you are going to hear over the next two months, i know you must be tired of hearing these ads -- but you are going to hear more over the next six weeks or it and over and over again, you're going to hear my opponent talk about bigger tax cuts, fewer regulations, that's the way to go, and since government can't do everything, it should do almost nothing. if you can't afford health care, then hope you don't get that. if you can afford college, borrow money from your parents you know what? that's not who we are. i don't think the government can solve all of our problems. but the government is not the source of our problems either. there are some things we have to do together. instead of going around and blaming somebody, unions or immigrants, gays or somebody for what is going on, this is what we need to pull together. we are in this together. we believe that america only works when we accept responsibility for ourselves and for each other. that is how we create more opportunity, mor
